Cub Tractor - Cracked head

Posted by Dick W. on November 30, 2003 at 10:44:01 from (66.57.251.248):

I am trying to help a friend get an old (1949) Cub up and running....it had been sitting for 5-6 years with no coolant or gas. After going through carb, wiring, plugs, etc. I finally got it running last night. Runs smooth, hydraulics work.....I'm feeling real good! Then all of a sudden I start to see a tell tale puddle of coolant on the garage floor. Further inspection shows a hairline crack on the top of the head were is is leaking......very small amount, but still leaking. I am not a mechanic but have fair mechanical skills. Can the head be fixed? What should I do? Cost? Do I need to worry about the possibility of a cracked block too?...and how would I check for that?

Thanks in advance for any help.
